About this property

MONKTON LIBRARY COTTAGE

This Monkton, Vermont library cottage was once home to adventures, fairy tales, comics, mysteries and fiction. It has recently been transformed into a welcoming space for travelers to call their home away from home. Very centrally located between Burlington and Middlebury, within walking distance to the new Monkton Town Library and Chocolate Store. Enjoy breathtaking sunrises over Camel's Hump and sunsets over the Adirondacks. Within a short drive, 15 mins. to local restaurants, hikes, fishing, rivers, skiing (Middlebury Snow Bowl, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, and Bolton Valley), and mountain biking. We are eco-friendly and are mindful of our carbon footprint that we will leave behind.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The cottage was perfect for our first two nights in Vermont. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was delightful to be across the street from a wonderful thrift store and next to a chocolate shop. Monkton was a nice location for day trips. We enjoyed the orchards, covered bridges, the Green Mountain loop and the beautiful Lincoln Peak Winery. I loved the spirit of the library that lives on in a bookshelf filled with books, something for everyone.

I was notified after being at the house for a little while that I was to use the heat pump and not the baseboard heater. Other than that everything was good. The house was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, it was quite a cozy retreat.

It is ok to use the baseboards, it is just more effficient to use the Heat Pump and it heats quickly. No problem. Thank you.

The Monkton Library Cottage was appointed and located perfectly for our 3 week stay while visiting younger family members nearby. We were able to cook simple meals and had our own space to relax in peace. The grocery store and laundromat in nearby Hinesburg was easy to find and use. Our host, Nina, was available and very responsive. We'd stay at the Monkton Library Cottage again without hesitation.

This cozy cottage was the perfect getaway for us. The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils for cooking our own meals. Everything is very new and in great condition, and the A/C worked well in the July heat. The location is perfect for enjoying nature, while still being a short drive from Burlington and lots of great food and drink options.
